Lying moral choice in public and private life

Lying is a penetrating and thoughtful examination of one of the most pervasive yet little discussed aspects of our public and private lives. Beginning with the moral questions raised about lying since antiquity, Sissela Bok takes up the justifications offered for all kinds of lies- white lies, lies to the sick and dying, lies of parents to children, lies to enemies, lies to protect clients and peers. The consequences of such lies are then explored through a number of concrete situations in which people are involved, either as liars or as the victims of the lie.

  • "A thoughtful addition to the growing debate over public and private morality. Looks at lying and deception in law, family, medicine, government."
  • ""Mediante la presentación de distintas referencias, escenarios y contrastes que presentan problemas morales de diversa complejidad, la autora pretende que el lector considere los efectos que tiene la mentira en los individuos, las relaciones humanas y la sociedad en general, analizando desde mentiras piadosas hasta las mentiras que se requieren para sobrevivir en un Estado totalitario. La obra conduce así al lector a reflexionar sobre si podría (y en qué casos) justificarse la mentira."--Cubierta trasera."@es
